WEBVTT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MINDY: THANK YOU, TAYLOR. IT'S TIME FOR 11 FITNESS. MONTE SANDERS HERE WITH PAULETTE. WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON TODAY? >> THE NEW YEAR'S OVER, THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. WE'RE PAST THE TIME PERIOD OF GRACE. NOW IT'S LIKE NO EXCUSES. NO EXCUSES. TIME TO GET DOWN TO IT. WE TOOK A POLL AND MOST PEOPLE REAL LIP WANT TO LOSE THAT MID SECTION AGAIN. MINDY: SO HARD AS YOU GET OLDER. A STUBBORN AREA. >> MULTIPLE THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN FOR YOU TO DO THAT. IT'S NUTRITION. YOU CAN DO A THOUSAND CRUNCHES. IT WON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE EATING WRONG. YOU HAVE TO DO CARDIO. IF YOU DON'T LIKE RUNNING, ELLIPTICAL MACHINE, ROWING MACHINE, BIKE, SPIN. ALL OF THAT MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO THE WAISTLINE. PAULETTE HAS LOST 50 POUNDS AND A LOT OF INCHES AROUND HER WAISTLINE AND OBLIQUES THAT SOME PEOPLE CALL THE MUFFIN TOP AREA. THIS IS ONE EXERCISE THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE. TODAY, WE'RE ADDING WEIGHTS TO IT SO THAT HER BODY NEVER GETS USED TO THAT RANGE OF MOTION. BY ADDING THREE POUNDS TO IT, IT KIND OF AVOIDS THE PLATEAU AND SHE CAN CONTINUE. MINDY: YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PUSH A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN'T MAKE IT EASY. YOU HAVE TO KEEP CHALLENGING YOURSELF. >> ABSOLUTELY. THE BODY IS MAGNIFICENT. AS WE COME DOWN, HERE'S CORE WORK WITH WEIGHTS. MOST WHEN THEY COME AND DO CRUNCHES WITH WEIGHTS, THEY COME IN LIKE SO. THAT'S OKAY. YOU KIND OF TAP THE UPPER ABS. WE LIKE TO BRING THEM UP NICE AND HIGH AND BRING THE WEIGHTS TOWARD THE CEILING. THAT WAY, WE GET UPPER ABS AND MIDDLE ABS AT THE SAME TIME. SO ADDING THE WEIGHTS TO THAT IS A GOOD VARIATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DOING CRUNCHES REGULARLY. MINDY: IT LOOK LIKE A SMALL MOVEMENT, BUT SMALL IS EFFECTIVE. >> ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONNECT YOUR MIND AND YOU'RE EXHALING WHEN YOU COME UP, MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. ANOTHER ONE FOR THE WAISTLINE IS V-UPS. YOU TAKE ONE ARM, ONE LEG. IF YOU'RE STARTING OFF, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME WITH BOTH LEGS. THIS IS SHOULDER, UPPER ABS, MIDDLE. WHEN YOU BRING THE LEG IN, YOU GET LOWER ABS. YOUR BODY GETS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, YOU CAN DO BOTH LEGS AND COME JUST LIKE SO, ATTACKING THE ENTIRE CORE JUST LIKE SO. KEEP IN MIND, ALL THESE EXERCISES ARE ONES YOU CAN DO AT HOME. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. ANOTHER ONE IS THE RUSSIAN TWIST FOR THE WAISTLINE. HERE, SHE'S KIND OF ROTATING THAT MID SECTION FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, KEEPING THAT CORE ENGAGED. EXHALING EVERY OTHER ONE OR SO. IF YOU FEEL GREAT WITH THESE, YOU ALSO CAN LIFT YOUR LEGS UP ABOUT THESE. MINDY: THAT'S HARD. I'VE DONE THOSE BEFORE. MAINTAINING THAT POSITION IS WORKING THE CORE. >> ANOTHER ONE, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT ABS, MOST PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE FRONT. WE'RE GOING SUPERMAN HERE. BECAUSE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE CORE, MOST PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THE FRONT, THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE BACK SIDE. HERE, LONG ARMS, LEGS ARE LONG, QUADS AND UPPER BODY COMING OFF THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME. YOU'RE GETTING THE FLEX AT THE TOP AND WE GET A CHANCE TO WORK THE SIDE THAT NOBODY SEES BUT REALLY NEEDS TO WORK, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH AREAS BACK HERE THAT YOU. DON'T LIKE. LOWER BACK FAT, HERE'S ONE RIGHT HERE THAT CAN HELP STRENGTHEN IT. YOU BRING THOSE QUADS UP EVEN MORE, YOU CAN ALSO GET THE GLUTES AS YOU FLEX DOWN. MINDY: THAN YOU, MONTY. THOSE ARE GREAT EXERCISES. LOW IMPACT. SOMETHING YOU CAN DO AT HOME. MAYBE EVEN AT WORK IF WE HAVE A MAKEUP ROOM HERE, I CAN SNEAK IN THERE. WE CAN GET THAT DONE ON A LITTLE BREAK. A LITTLE BIT CAN GO A LONG WAY. >> IT'S
